Prepare to earn a university degree in the UK
There are plenty of compelling reasons to choose Cardiff’s International Foundation Programme. Above all, it is the only programme that offers automatic progression to the degree programmes at Cardiff. All of the foundation classes are taught on campus by academic staff from the university, and students are considered full members of the university and enjoy full access to campus facilities and resources.

Students are also matched with two personal tutors. One offers assistance with the student’s academic studies, and the other with English language modules. The latter is of particular importance to many international students. With this in mind, the Foundation Programme provides guidance not only in English language, but also in the culture and requirements of the British higher education system.
